Jade's POV
When I woke up and looked around and didn't recognize nothing, I started to panic. Where was I? I sat up quickly and got dizzy trying to think back but the only thing I could remember was the previous night. Everything before that I have forgotten. I can't remember anything. I felt tears well up in my eyes and fall over, streaming down my cheeks. "This can't be happening." I said aloud to myself.
"Talking to yourself is never a good sign." I snapped my head sideways toward the direction of the voice, seeing a handsome man sitting in a chair across from the bed I was in.
"What happened? Where am I? Who are you?" I started rambling on asking questions. "Who am I?" I didn't even know my own name. I sighed laying back on the bed again, placing my arm over my eyes. I was in a load shit of trouble.
"I could ask you the same questions but since you're asking me I'm guessing you don't know either." He smirked. What the hell? "All I know is I found you last night after I left the bar. You were unconcious in the alley, so I picked you up and brought you back to my place." He shrugged. "I couldn't just leave you there to die."
"You could have. You don't even know me. Hell, I don't even know me." My eyes misted over, the action seemed foreign to me.
"Hey, you ok?" The stranger asked as he walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed placing his hand on top of mine. I opened my eyes and looked at him.
"Are you serious? You're asking if I'm ok, I can't remember my own name. Of course I'm not ok." I said through gritted teeth. This was ridiculous. "What's your name?" I asked him.
My life had just taken an unsuspected turn and it scared me.
"The names Derek Talon."
"Derek, huh? Well under better circumstances I would say its nice to meet you but at the moment I'm a little pissed."
Derek's POV
I sat there looking at this beautiful creature trying not to laugh at her quirkiness. I had this strange sensation to protect her. I shrugged it off, thinking it was because of her situation.
"Would you like something to eat? Maybe a shower?" I asked, trying to be nice and help her anyway I can.
She sat there with a blank look on her face staring at the wall. "Hey, you alright?"
"Huh?" She shook her head like she was in some kind of trance. "Oh, sorry. Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking."
"Anything you want to talk about?"
"No, not really." She shrugged then turned to look at me. Man she was amazing.
"Ok, well I'm here if you do. Now back to my questions. Would you like something to eat or a shower?"
"Both." I chuckled. She wasn't shy thats for sure.
"Well, bathroom is there." I pointed to the door. "And I'll go downstairs and cook something while you're showering." I got up and walked over to the dresser and pulled out a clean t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I tossed them to her and grinned trying not to think of what she's going to look like in them. "You can wear those until we get you some clothes."
"Thank you." She got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, when I heard the water running I went downstairs to the kitchen and began pulling eggs, bacon, sausage, canned biscuits, and canned gravy from the fridge and shelf.
I put the bacon and sausage on to fry while I waited on the oven to preheat, my mind kept wandering to upstairs where Jade was naked in MY shower. I sighed. "Come on, Derek. Get your mind off of her."
I slid the bisuits into the oven and put on the timer, then put the gravy in a bowl and shoved it in the microwave to heat up.
After finished up the bacon and sausage I put on the eggs and started them, fixing, runny, hard, and scrambled. Oh, and boiled to. I wasn't sure what she liked so I wanted her to have options.
I heard her coming down the stairs right as I took the biscuits out of the oven and was putting them on a dish to sit on the table with everything else. I turned and smiled at her. "Hey, there. Feel better?"
"Much. Something smells good." She grinned.
"I made eggs of all kinds, bacon, sausage, canned biscuits and gravy." I half grinned. "Sorry, I'm not much of a cook."
"It's alright, I'm sure its good." She walked over and sat at the table. I followed her to the table placing the plate of biscuits on it and taking a seat across from her. "Dig in."
She laughed and started piling food on her plate as I did the same. I started eating then looked up at her, thinking. "Do you remember anything at all?"
"Not really. All I can remember is being in a bitchy mood so I was in the bar drinking. I got even mre irritated for some reason and walked outside for some air. I was leaning up against the wall with my eyes closed and something smashed into the side of my head." She shrugged like it was no big deal. I was absolutely confused as to why I wanted to run off and find this guy and rip his fucking head off. I gritted my teeth, fighting back my anger at some unknown stranger. This was so unlike me.
Jade's POV
I stared into Derek's eyes, confused as to why he seemed like he was going to explode at any moment. "Um...you ok?" I asked, fork mid-way to my mouth.
"Huh? Uh...yeah. Fine." He went back to eating. I shook my head and did the same. Confusion seriously setting in now.
I put my fork down on my plate with a clatter. "Is there something wrong, Derek?" I asked sighing, and looking into his beautiful eyes. What? Beautiful eyes? Where did that come from?
"No, I'm good." He smiled. I didn't believe it for a second. I crossed my arms.
"I'm not buying it. Tell me whats going on or i'm walking out that door right now to figure shit out on my own." I narrowed my eyes and scooted my chair out ready to leave if he kept lying to me.
"Shit, Fine. When you told me what happened to you I wanted to go find this annoymous stranger and rip his fucking head off for hurting you."
"Ah, well. See was that so hard?" I smirked.
"No, but aren't you freaked out by it?"
"Not in the slightest." He raised his eyebrow at me. "I actually find it rather flattering." I grinned.
"Really? Hmm...interesting."
I rolled my eyes and finished eating. Then got up and took my dishes to the sink, washing them and putting leftovers away. I didn't want to waste it. After I was finished I went into the livingroom where followed by Derek. I layed down on the couch curling up as he placed a blanket over me.
"What do you want to do? And what am I calling you since we don't know your name?"
"Hmm...we can lay here and talk or watch a movie. And just call me Jade for now." He raised his eyebrow.
"Jade?"
"Yes, Jade. I don't know why but it feels right." I shrugged watching his perfect body move around the room putting in a movie and such. Then returning to the couch and sitting down.
We layed there watching the movie and chatting on and off. It was amazing, some of the things Derek told me. I got tired and fell asleep with my head laying in his lap.
